This year, however, it was done conclusively, a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and Winchester Factory Loaded Shells in the hands©of a skillful shot accomplishing hitherto unheard of feat. The score made by the Red W Combination was far higher than ______the season©s average figures for "Singles" and, in fact, it was the Highest Recorded for this or any other year, being °/o JOAP© np * A. M 4895 Targets This epoch-making shooting was all done in Registered tournaments at Regu lation targets. E. F. Forsgard, of Wacos Texas, is the man who did it, and a Win E. F. FORSGARD F. G. BILLS chester Repeating Shotgun and Winches ter "Leader" and "Repeater" Shells was the combination that he did it with. Such shooting as this shows that Winchester Shells, made with Patent Corrugated Heads, a modern and ingenious American idea, are far superior to shells made according to foreign methods once used in the construction of Winchester shells, but dis carded years ago. The feat also proves beyond contradiction that The Winchester Repeating© Shotgun is Still Supreme In the contests for Season©s Average honors for "Singles," a Winchester in the hands of C. G. Spencer was high over all other repeaters. F. G. Bills, who won the Official Season©s Aver age ^for "Double" targets, with 90%, and three others of the first ten shooters in this class, also used Winchester Repeating Shotguns. When it comes to shooting "Doubles," some repeating shotguns fall down hard, but the Winchester stands right up at the top, not only excelling all other repeaters, but double guns, too. The scores for 1910 can be analyzed, dissected, separated or segregated, but the victories won and records made with Winchester Shotguns and Shells will still show that to get the most uniform and satisfactory results The RED W COMBINATION is the One to Shoot

This year, however, it was done conclusively, a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and Winchester Factory Loaded Shells in the hands©of a skillful shot accomplishing hitherto unheard of feat. The score made by the Red W Combination was far higher than ______the season©s average figures for "Singles" and, in fact, it was the Highest Recorded for this or any other year, being °/o JOAP© np * A. M 4895 Targets This epoch-making shooting was all done in Registered tournaments at Regu lation targets. E. F. Forsgard, of Wacos Texas, is the man who did it, and a Win E. F. FORSGARD F. G. BILLS chester Repeating Shotgun and Winches ter "Leader" and "Repeater" Shells was the combination that he did it with. Such shooting as this shows that Winchester Shells, made with Patent Corrugated Heads, a modern and ingenious American idea, are far superior to shells made according to foreign methods once used in the construction of Winchester shells, but dis carded years ago. The feat also proves beyond contradiction that The Winchester Repeating© Shotgun is Still Supreme In the contests for Season©s Average honors for "Singles," a Winchester in the hands of C. G. Spencer was high over all other repeaters. F. G. Bills, who won the Official Season©s Aver age ^for "Double" targets, with 90%, and three others of the first ten shooters in this class, also used Winchester Repeating Shotguns. When it comes to shooting "Doubles," some repeating shotguns fall down hard, but the Winchester stands right up at the top, not only excelling all other repeaters, but double guns, too. The scores for 1910 can be analyzed, dissected, separated or segregated, but the victories won and records made with Winchester Shotguns and Shells will still show that to get the most uniform and satisfactory results The RED W COMBINATION is the One to Shoot
